During product training we were told to &quot;have fun&quot; with the software and actively listen to phone calls within a few miles. <br /><br />These agencies are run by military meat-heads who are under the impression they have permission to do whatever they want and just &quot;classify&quot; anything that&#39;s illegal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559002410879446409.post-4215594769675797232014-06-07T13:35:21.944+02:002014-06-07T13:35:21.944+02:00stazi shills are strong in this threadstazi shills are strong in this threadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559002410879446409.post-5664650433221742952014-06-07T01:21:06.473+02:002014-06-07T01:21:06.473+02:00That comparison is not fully correct: every conver...That comparison is not fully correct: every conversation is protected by the fourth amendment, except for when there&#39;s a legal reason for law enforcement or intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on it. <br /><br />If such agencies consider it necessary, they can also place microphones directed at people in their homes or even when they are meeting somewhere outside. However, this is somewhat cumbersome, it&#39;s true that eavesdropping on electronic communications is easier.<br /><br />It should be noted that there&#39;s no evidence for indiscriminate or bulk recording of the content of American communications, at least not by NSA. NSA is only collecting the metadata of phone calls, to use that for targeted contact chaining.

If you pick up the phone and call the same neighbor, or chat online, or skype, or email them its recorded in some form. The only difference is a piece of technology exists between the two of you that can be exploited. How can the first conversation be private and protected but not the second?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559002410879446409.post-10369432978464445662014-06-06T21:45:43.151+02:002014-06-06T21:45:43.151+02:00&quot;I really don’t care that the NSA might liste...&quot;I really don’t care that the NSA might listen in on a phone call or read one of my emails.&quot;<br /><br />I do care. They&#39;re my phone calls and my eMails, and I want to keep them private. Not because there&#39;s anything criminal in them. Just because I can make that choice, and that&#39;s what I choose. Anything else effectively makes me the property of the state. <br /><br />This is the price of the society you&#39;re happy to surrender your liberties to protect; that those of us who choose NOT to surrender to the state, don&#39;t have to. You might not like it, but that&#39;s what you&#39;re protecting. <br /><br />If you think it&#39;s worth protecting, then I get privacy because that&#39;s the whole point. If you don&#39;t think it&#39;s worth protecting, then I get privacy because you don&#39;t need to read my eMails. There is no argument in which the society is worth protecting AND gets to read my eMail; it&#39;s only worth protecting if it DOESN&#39;T get to read my eMail.Moschopsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559002410879446409.post-76832809016517759382014-06-06T19:09:00.666+02:002014-06-06T19:09:00.666+02:00I want, particularly for those aged 60 and above a...I want, particularly for those aged 60 and above and who care not a jot if they are a target, to be auto-cited - for speeding.<br /><br />Each time google maps running on their phone and using the GSM satellites detects THEY (and only they) are 1m over the speed limit build into the mapping database, it reports the fact to the local police for a automatic fine.<br /><br />Lets ensure folks &quot;feel&quot; the nature of a stasi-state - starting with those who care not if it exists.

After all, I don&#39;t think they really hate us just because we have (some) freedom, I think some of these radicals would have not resorted to terrorism if we had tried to make peaceful international trade deals/ relationships - rather than blowing the sh*t out of their countries.

NSA officials only have said that the PRISM program and domestic cable tapping foiled some 40 terrorist plots.<br /><br />It seems that Snowden had no access to the actual finished intelligence reports by NSA analysts.
